"Hello sweetness (to Bethany, the Promoter)!
I wanted to share with you that my session with Wayne was probably THE most profound healing session I have ever had, and I have had a lot!!! I was ready for is one! Thank you for being a part of what got me there, so much gratitude for your precious self!! Please let him know how touched I am by his heart, his wisdom! What a truly amazing example he is of spirit, love, humor.... I truly am not the same person who walked into the session. I felt totally held and cared for! Spirit is with me as I write this to you, there are two woman near me discussing Hawaii! May you have tremendous love and adventure in the tropics, I'm sure our paths will cross again!! PS I am strongly considering the training with Wayne's partner in January, in the Pacific Northwest!!
Love and hugs"

Working with Wayne has been one of those experiences where you don't know what you are getting yourself into. Yet, deep inside I knew that I was on the right track..and GOSH my intuition was so right-on! Wayne was empathetic, filled with love and light, and has a gift for healing those who are open and ready for it.. With deep gratitude; I felt the shift immediately after my first session with him, yet I know that there is more to sit with for further seeds to grow ---

Aloha Kealohi,

I would like to express my gratitude for the wonderful session I received from you.
I really felt that a sacred space had been created for our session and that all of your presence
was available and that you were totally in tune.

During the massage I felt loved, respected, and honored. I could also feel the professionalism and your ability to have the exact pressure and flow in all massage strokes. I did love to hear your voice as you were singing parts of the songs that were playing.

On another level of consciousness, I felt the sacred masculine in you honoring the sacred feminine in me. When I mentioned to you that something was releasing in my hip and in my heart, I cried and released the lack in this life and the remembrance of the sacred union between Man and Woman.

At one point, I don’t remember exactly what you were doing, I believe you were doing a stroke along my spine, I felt the Ha the breath of life open up and become deeper some how.
At the cocoon stage it was very very powerful. I can’t tell exactly all that happened but I know that many lifetimes flew through my consciousness.

Meeting you and allowing myself to be touched in this way opened the way for me to meet my life partner for sacred union and somehow gave my body the blueprint for being loved and touched by a sacred man. I will always honor this moment.

I must tell you that your treatment yesterday has saved my life. I was so caught up in fear over the rent that I was almost immobilized with terror. You assisted me so perfectly to open up to the real issues of guilt, regret, etc, that was truly eating me up inside. In a single session I have opened the door to love and cast out fear. You gently but firmly guided me to address entrenched family issues. My mother had such a sweet innocence to her and showed her love thru wonderful cooking and tasty baking. She was always wanting to give everyone a basket of her homemade goodies every Christmas.

It's been a couple months
now since we met and were able to share a day of love and
healing.

As I was driving home after our session
I realized that most of my life I've never been hesitant
about giving love and healing, but almost terrified with
the prospect of receiving it. The gentle tenderness, care
and joy that you showed as a healer opened me up to the
possibility and willingness to receive on a level that I
had never imagined.

Standing in the ability to receive love,
light and compassion from the universe and other beings
has very much changed and amplified what I am able to bring
forth as my own gifts in this lifetime. I wanted to write
and say thank you from the very light of my being. In that
any love and healing I am able to gift to others will be
possible for the time we spent together.

It's my hope that our paths cross again
and that we have time to share stories of wonderful adventures
of our journeys.

Until then Aloha and much love to you my
friend.LeAnne

Aloha,"As a practitioner in the holistic health field I am
very particular about who does bodywork on me. I found Wayne
Powell's Lomi-lomi sessions to be utterly exquisite. Wayne
has a way to blend in the power of shamanic magic with very
practical and effective massage techniques that leave you
fully connect to your soul and completely satiated in the
physical body. I am very grateful for the integration that
his work brought into my life, where my heart, mind and spirit
reunited in one blissful union. Wayne's work is unique and
a must for all who desire to deepen their connection both
to spirit and to their physical body."

"Wayne Powell's work and presence embodies
the heart and soul of the ancient Huna teachings. To enter
his temple, is to leave the world, as we know it behind.
Wayne's work and teaching is masterful, thorough, accomplished
and inspired!"

"The session I had with you was the
most transforming bodywork I have ever experienced. Your
gentleness allowed me to release and cleanse on both conscious
and subconscious levels, and through the entire session
I felt sacred, safe and totally loved."

"There is bodywork, and there is Bodywork, what I received
from Wayne Powell was the latter. His session was one of
those magical moments in my life where I experienced the
touch of the Divine clearing my whole Being of everything
that was not of Its divine Self. When the session
was complete, I sat up and felt my body had been transformed
into light, I felt so expanded on every level, like the
particles of my cells had been opened for the first time.
It was also like a coming home experience, coming
back to myself in the fullness of who I truly Am. I felt
like I was the Goddess and too this day, that experience
has become an accepted part of myself, so hence I cannot
speak highly enough of Waynes total dedication and
integrity he brings to his unique style of bodywork. All
my friends had similar mind blowing experiences as well,
we Love you Waynebow, come play with us some more soon .."

Aloha my new dear friend......Our sunday session
was a life altering experience for me as I struggle to find
words to do justice in expressing my deepest gratitude and
awe of the power of love in action!!!

I held myself quietly and softly within my energetic cocoon
of bliss on the ferry ride home and have managed to remain
in "that place" with very little effort......I
have been cracked open like a delicate egg and feel the
breath of divine light within and without my being in my
"kNOWing of spirit". My ongoing healing from the
opening has in reality been greater opening.......ahhh,
my friend, what a gift you have given........thank you,
thank you, thank you....blessings abound!

Your music is very resonant with the multi faceted being
you are........love the softness of spirit on the wind and
thrill to the pounding rhythms of TRUST, like the jazzy
number too......you have so many gifts......I take a lesson
in manifesting joys...........mmm, mmm.

The healing diet is quite delicious and easy to maintain....I
look forward to our workshop and have been setting daily
loving intentions for our magic number of nine to unfold......words
fall short to describe how I feel...suffice to say: from
the deepest center of ALL that IS.....Peace, Love, and Bless
You all....

"Wayne, thanks for accompanying me
on a (Lomi Lomi) journey that was both familiar and necessary.
Thanks also for the integrity of your presence which enabled
total abandonment and exciting discovery."

"It is truly the experience of a lifetime--regenerating,
life-giving work."

Thank you very very much for an incredible experience. Words can't describe how I felt during, afterwards, & feel now. Two inches taller, years younger, & so much more alive ..calmer, happier & more at peace & actually having fun. Definitely am feeling a major shift ... moment by moment.

That knot in my back moved from one side of the spine to the other, then under my shoulder blade & then gone. Enjoying your music.

You probably don't need the validation, but I believe in letting people know when they've touched me. I was the first receiver of "public" body tune-ups on Sunday 7/18. You demonstrated on me for the class.

To understand the compliment: I am trained in Reiki and shamanic work. I received the training as I'd seen others - some who were good and others who were not good at it, seemed to make up things, or who had lost their humility. All were happy to take my money. I decided to learn for myself which helps me discriminate better when choosing an authentic practitioner.

I am also very sensitive to energy. I generally would not choose a male practitioner without getting to know him and understanding the work first. I would generally never receive work in front of a group. But, being the first there - the offer was made.

The space you and your students held was so loving that there was no hesitation. Your energy work was so pure and filled with integrity, it was no problem. Thank you for the experience. Also, good for you for attracting such good students. Often, I have found in these trainings one or two people who are in it for "creepy" reasons. I had no sense of that in the room.

the full body strokes from toes->shoulders->hands->neck & head were amazing-i think that no other
massage will ever be the as good now, i have to get margaret to learn it, and she'll never run out of clients...
you must be doing well in your practice if everyone feels what i did yesterday

I really liked the visualizations....still vivid in my mind today was when you said to imagine
being next to a stream in some old growth, with the gold strands coming out and making a
cocoon around me - i was instantly transported to a place just like this on the side of mt. baker
that i should be visiting soon. :)

the adjustment has me still feeling excellent today(Friday), i feel like my shoulders are broader somehow, like
i've grown outward...

Mahalo Kumu,
After attending the Kahuna Navigator course on Kauai Nov, 2016, I feel more spiritually aligned than ever before. I now feel more love, support, and guidance within all my running systems.

At training I enjoyed the daily meditations on the elements, communing with nature, healing and connecting with each other through daily Truth Dialogue, learning special new ways of healing, and lots of fun, laughter and bliss. Thank you Kealohi, Aunty Jeannie, Uncle Ken, and Hawaii for a
life-changing experience.

Dear Kealohi

I am so pleased to share with you that Lomilomi has bubbled forth and intergraded to the forefront of my life with great joy and Aloha! and that I had had the honor of being the channel and vehicle for re-introducing the beautiful Aloha Manna Temple Style you first birthed within the spa practioners of the Wickininnish Inn in Tofino...May 23rd and 24th....they loved it! and what a gift to be working with such heartfelt, receptive and skillful practitioners, it will do you proud! MAHALO so much for the Blessing of being a Kumu!

It was only two full days with five practioners and where able to master the full routine. I love the fact that they where all very communicative and worked together, helping each other with technique and excellent feedback. During the next weeks they will be working side by side with clients in the spa. This way they can practice the chants together and help each other out throughout the routine as well as practice on their own time.

I took you example and compiled an attractive folder with the routine, chants and relevant handouts. fortunately, I had just the right number of shell leis from Hawaii that I presented to each of the participants with at the end of the class along with some Hawaiian red salt.

They are all interested in pursuing further lomilomi experience, so I will be sending all your workshop and training information to them along with a certificate I still need to create for the training. Now I am off to re-enter the Art world I created and it's community
Thank-you so much for all your blessings!!! and all you have brought to my life.

Dear Kumu Kealohi,

About my Heartworks Lomi training in April, 2016... a few thoughts:
Some timed has passed since my recent Heartworks Lomilomi training in Ashfield and feel like I have some perspective on it.
First off, the Heartworks Lomilomi training has invigorated my massage practice. My clients love the new work and I have found
many opportunities to use it in whole or part depending on the situation. We all probably have clients who think we’re the greatest,
and mine are excited by the new changes!

I’m glad I took the optional day of Ho’ponono training. It seems to be an essential part of understanding the real intent behind the massage.
When I practice ho’ponono during a massage what departs is judgement, doubt and feelings of disconnection. What remains is compassion, connection and presence.
I notice their breath. I don’t work so hard at trying to fix them. I invite them to experience the sensations in their body and make what they need out of them.
Ho’ponono has been very helpful to me as a meditative practice in my daily life. It helps untie knots, remove blocks and keep me grounded in the things that matter.

The hands-on training covers the whole body in a comprehensive way and I am still surprised at how much information Kealohi was able to transmit in such a short time. Using demos, explanations, stories and a lot of humor for a serious topic he was able to keep us engaged
and focused. The back and forth practice with partners made it real in both physical and emotional ways. Overall it was a great new experience
that left me both challenged by the internal work I need to do and excited by the prospect of sharing this gift of Hawaiian massage. Kealohi is an
inspiring teacher who’s enthusiasm is backed by multi-faceted knowledge and great compassion.

Mahalo!

“Wayne is wise and kind and a man of God, he is always sharing his warm heart with everyone.
His lomi lomi training was spiritual and imaginative”

Kathleen Y Shinsato,
New York

Greetings Kealohi,

I am deeply thankful, KUMU KEALOHI, for your wonderful session in the healing temple and the personal training I received on the beautiful island of Kaua`i. It was a powerful, enriching and an amazing deep spiritual healing that opened my heart and changed my life.

I enjoyed your lomi lomi massage as a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experience, my energy was immediately flowing in a new direction.. I felt the presence of MANA, the divine energy, all around and listening to your beautiful voice, singing Hawaiian songs of life, I was dancing and connecting with my authentic self, ready to fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit. It was so sacred and divine.

I am in peace and in love with "letting go" and full of light and aloha.

KEALOHI, I honor, respect and bless you with all my heart and I look forward to many future meetings.

Aloha Kealohi and Patti,I have been incorporating the lomi into my work, as well as, doing some full lomi sessions ...response has been very good. I truly enjoyed the flow of our (LOMI Four) class, especially because I never knew what the flow was going to be. All I knew was...blow conch...show up.
I really enjoyed the excursions and learning out in the elements, that was the highlight for me.
I also so enjoyed that we were all from different parts of the world. Being a born traveller, I am always filled with gratitude to be exposed to "differences"...which only reinforces to me that we are really all the same. My edge in the class was the spoken rituals. Have no problem receiving, but speaking rituals is out of my comfort zone as I aways do my work in total silence, with very specific music in the background that I pick out for the client...that is more where I use ritual.
I do love energy movement, so all the shifting of energy was fantastic.

So with that, I send you all so much love and chi. If you are ever in my part of the world, please let your presence be known. However to my Canadian brothers and sisters....I am a fierce Black Hawks fan...you have been warned.

It is already a week and then some since I landed in Paris and it has taken me that long to actually "land" and come back here... or have I really ?

There is so much love and gratitude in my heart for you and all you you have provided for us during those last weeks in Molokai. Thank you ever so much for being who you are, I love you with all my heart and soul. And meeting you, Patti, was such a treat, an inspiration, a joy. I look forward to more connecting and giggling and hugging and sharing and dancing together.

These two weeks have been life changing for me. so much so that I was shaken and in such a weird state during my stay. I am feeling the aftermath and I know I will be feeling it for a long time and how magic it is !!!!!

I also want to express again my gratitude for being invited into the instructor's training program. How wonderful ! I feel really honored and excited and joyful. My heart is set on making it all happen !

I fully trust that I will be able to manifest my trip in november to see you and train with you and uncle Harry and then next years Kupua Mana OF COURSE !

hmmmm so that is it for now...
Please receive all my tenderness and love

Thank you again for the beautiful 1-2-1 saturday 6 hours
or was that infinity... and beyond!?!

So much has shifted and so much makes sense now, things
that i didn't even know were an issue for me got aired and
resolved in that amazing energy space. I cannot begin to
explain, but I know you know.

The re-birthing mana breathing was extraordinary - i just
wished i could have stayed in that space forever and let
that energy buzz through my body at what felt like a million
volts - it was very hard to pull myself back to our relative
reality!

I am so happy we met, and the Body Tune Up has had an amazing
impact on those around me .... what is it with the universe?!
people keep saying things like " i have a pain right
here (pointing to illoceqal valve!!)" or "is it
normal to get heart burn the whole time" and "my
doctor recommended i dont eat fibre at the moment to try
to help deal with this Crohns Disease" and "oh
i really recognize that pain (when pressing on Houston)
that's obviously something I get alot" and so onnnnn...
bless you for all the knowledge you have shared with us.

i have given several body tune ups and lomi lomi treatments
to friends, have sorted my treatment room into a beautiful
space and have designed a lovely leaflet to let the local
community know what I have to offer them.... so, i'm pretty
much ready to rock and invite paying bodies into my home
to really start spreading that Aloha!

My energy has shifted so much, thanks to you and the work
we did - I am really feeling a connection and channeling
which is getting stronger all the time - I know I said it
before, but THANK YOU for coming to England ...
I am so happy that we met and you enabled me to shift those
blocks.

Mahalo dear Wayne-bow!

I treasure the seed pod you brought with you from Hawaii
to me. It is very symbolic for me.

Greetings and love from Nanaimo.............I
just watched the Lomi-One DVD for the hundredth time and
I have to say Wayne, that I continue to see new moves, layers
and insights..........You SIR are poetry in motion.......its
incredible to watch the "flow" of where you go.......I
am so moved and inspired..........Patti......you must enjoy
the benefits of his remarkable universal rhythms........he
feels, moves and breathes it for real....even if sometimes
its a struggle to get in the groove, there is no mistaking
his deepest intuition and highest soulful delivery of pure
aloha love.........I am moved, I am honored, I am humbled
and inspired.....and yes, oh so grateful.............

I have just completed my last practicum session and am lining
up paying clients!!!!! wahooooooooooo....unbelievable where
I have journeyed in the last couple of months.....so many
layers peeled away.....now I stand in my clearest vision
of self......EVER!! and......I am manifesting a lifestyle
of assisting in raising the planetary vibrations one body
at a time.........what a blessing and joy.......mahalo for
opening and encouraging me........

I've just been looking through your web site again this
morning, reading the bits and pieces there, and appreciating
once again with real humility how fortunate I am to have
crossed paths with you! You can never know how grateful
I am to have received the transmission of Lomilomi from
you and by your example, because of the undeniably huge
impact that this has had on my life. Just yesterday I did
two Lomi sessions and three the day before that--twenty-six
in the past two weeks, and now well past 500 in the three
years since the Hummingbird Lodge Lomi training. In part
I have the Haven Institute also to thank for being a base
of operations where I could practice and deepen with the
Lomi and get precious experience by having my hands on so
many diverse bodies/spirits in such a relatively short timeframe.
I have not had to struggle, as I did in another, earlier
phase of life, to find many willing clients, nor to see
the swift expansion of my own reputation or influence as
a representative of this lineage to many who otherwise have
not contacted it. Everyday that I work with this, every
time I enter the temple space with someone, I bless you
and this lineage!

I hope and trust that all goes well with
you and those who connect with you in your work and life....

Thank you both for an amazing Lomi Adventure of love, light
and learning. The time spent with the two of you and our
collected OHANA was of much value and transformation for
me. I believe I will be integrating the experience for awhile
yet. I am very grateful for all I received spiritually,
professionally and personally while staying in your home,
being nurtured by your sacred space and sacred Hearts. I
am so looking forward to applying the depth and breath of
learning I received from both of you Lomi and Shamanic bodywork
angels.

I am confident our Paths will cross again soon. I am hoping
I can attend in June or speak with you about finding my
way back to Bellingham to learn from you in another small
group format or even taking the instructors training in
order to have the opportunity to learn one on one or two
people or another 4-6 group context. I welcome any opportunity
we can create to be mentored by the two of you in 2006...
and I will keep the door open for that possibility to manifest.

Thank you both for the wonderful CD music suggestions...for
the healing and powerful music you played during our sessions...
for your wisdom and love you generously gave and for bringing
the light of your multifaceted gifts to my learning and
heart.

Many Blessings and With Much Gratitude!Love Lorrie

Although this note is a bit late in writing
the desire to write it has been in the forefront of my mind/heart
ever since we ended the Lomi Lomi training session in early
September. I loved our time together. It was definitely
a compression of time. What a wonderful dolphin family –
full of love, joy, and flow!

"Dear Wayne,
I want to acknowledge you for being the teacher I was looking
for to bring me to the next phase of my life and my healing
journey. I am in such deep appreciation and gratitude to
you for teaching me Lomilomi! I'm having the most amazing
sessions with people! My clients are just going into the
wide-open space of pure Love and Spirit, and the energy
is so beautiful and deeply healing! This work is so magical
and transforming in ways that I could have never imagined
possible! This is the kind of intimate healing everyone
needs! Thank you so much for being! I love you."

"Taking Wayne's training took my bodywork to a whole
new level. It gave me insight into deepening the massage
experience for my clients, adding new dimensions and confidence
to my work. It has allowed me to provide a more intimate
and healing journey for my clients and also myself. It feels
great to be doing bodywork that is so powerful, soothing,
sacred and unique unto itself. The Lomilomi Training themselves
were magic and truly transformational! Thanks Wayne, I'm
so glad I went for it!"

"Hi Wayne,
I would like everyone to know that what I received from
your training was more about me than learning new strokes
for my clients. I saw and experienced where I stopped giving
to myself, and what I really needed to become the healer
I want to be. The delicate nurturing that I received from
you Wayne throughout the Lomilomi training opened me up
BIG TIME, and now my clients are able to receive so much
more of me, and from me. It's so wonderful to feel and be
so much love flowing now! Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!"

Hello Wayne,

I wanted to give you some follow-up after our Bellingham session in August. I am doing MUCH better. I followed the diet, maybe not as strict as a could have, but it still helped my IBS immensely!! In fact, I now suggest the fiber free diet to my patients. The caffeine cessation had the most significant impact. I had insomnia for 2.5 years, in the last 6 months I had tried everything- saw a naturopath, chiropractor, herbalist and read every ounce if literature. There were weeks that I slept only 2-3 days, it was awful. I stopped caffeine the day after meeting you, the withdrawl lasted 6 days. By the third day, I could see through the haze and the headache would improve. After a week I was sleeping again!!! I love coffee, so now I mix deaf and caffeinated quarter strength have one cup in the morning and I'm done for the day. I've saved about $90/month on lattes slept well since!

I must tell you that your treatment yesterday has saved my life. I was so caught up in fear over the rent that I was almost immobilized with terror. You assisted me so perfectly to open up to the real issues of guilt, regret, etc, that was truly eating me up inside. In a single session I have opened the door to love and cast out fear. You gently but firmly guided me to address entrenched family issues. My mother had such a sweet innocence to her and showed her love thru wonderful cooking and tasty baking. She was always wanting to give everyone a basket of her homemade goodies every Christmas.

There is such a glorious new era dawning; a golden age. A great part of it will be having harmony between technology and nature. having the Hawaiian islands using wind & solar energy and systems like the ORS allowing you to put your energies into healing.

I am going to be reading ACIM instead of watching cable TV. As Timothy Leary said, "Control your screen". We need to transition from complaining about the way things are and embracing what they can be thru hope and love.

"After my tuneup and lomi lomi session on saturday, i felt like a new man!
It was like Wayne took apart my body and replace the sore aching ones w/new
ones! and once again, i experienced massive surges of energy thru my body

Dear Wayne,"I was experiencing extreme asthma attacks which had
been going on for many weeks and after one session of the
Body Tune-up with Wayne I was able to breathe freely and sleep
deeply. I am completely released from the asthma and my large
intestine which was the actual problem of the asthma and allergic
reaction is working normally now.
All of this I experienced after a 45 minute session with Wayne.
I am relieved after a lifetime of distress."

"After experiencing Wayne's Body Tune-up,
muscles that had been painfully "turned off" and
not functioning in my lower back since I was physically
hit by a car in 1998 have responded and "turned on".
I am comfortable walking and sitting again and I am quickly
regaining my strength in my lower body. Since I have always
been a dance teacher, and had given it up because of the
disability, I am ecstatic! I can dance again!"

We love to travel and bring our Lomi Temple for healing
sessions and training.
